Gastroblastoma in Adulthood—A Rarity among Rare Cancers—A Case Report and Review of the Literature
Gastroblastoma (GB) is a rare gastric epithelial-mesenchymal neoplasm, first described by Miettinen et al. So far, all reported cases described the tumor in children or young adults, and similarities with other childhood blastomas have been postulated. We report a case of GB in a 43-year-old patient with long follow up and no recurrence up to 100 months after surgery. So far, this is the second case of GB occurring in the adult age >40-year-old. Hence, GB should be considered in the differential diagnosis of microscopically comparable conditions in adults carrying a worse prognosis and different clinical approach.
Myeloid and T-Cell Microenvironment Immune Features Identify Two Prognostic Sub-Groups in High-Grade Gastroenteropancreatic Neuroendocrine Neoplasms
High-grade Gastroenteropancreatic Neuroendocrine neoplasms (H-NENs) comprehend well-differentiated tumors (NET G3) and poorly differentiated carcinomas (NEC) with proliferative activity indexes as mitotic count (MC) >
